HOMJCTDE IN GOOSECBEEK.
A Colored Man Accidentally Shot-Riot
In 1 he Country-Arrest or tbe Partira
Implicated.
S. C. Brown and S. 0. Wiggins, two white
men, were brought to the city yesterday af?
ternoon under arrest and taten before a trial
Justice on tne charge of being implicated in
the killing of a colored man named Tbarin
Grant, on last Monday, in St. James Goose
creek. From the affidavits upon which the
prlsonere aie confined and their own state
ments the following facts are taken: Last
Monday afternoon, about two o'clock, Brown
and Wiggins, who are planting a place on
Goosecreek belonging to the Rev. Mr. Miles,
went out shooting fish in the creek. After
they had been gone some time their powder
gave out and they returned to the house for
more. While returning they met Grant and
talked with him some time, he laughing with
them and claiming the load In the gun as his
own, aa he had loaded it with his own ammu?
nition in Mr. Wigglns's absence. The two
prisoners proceeded on their hunt and cap?
tured a large fish. They then started back,
and the gun was placed In the bottom of the
boat. They soon got back to where Grant was
Bitting on the edge of the canal, and Brown
states that be was busily pushing the boat
along when ruudenly the gun was discharged
and he saw Grant double np and fall over.
Wiggins states that he had the gun, without
knowing it was loaded, pointed towards
Grant, who told bim to be careiul and hold
the muzzle down. He was doing this when
the piece was discharged. Wiggins then
j napped out of the boat and waded to Grant,
pul his arm around him and said, "Ob, Grant,
you know it was an accident." Grant merely
said "Oh, my God, I am shot," and died al<
, moat immediately. The load of shot had gone
clear throngh his breast. The prisoners, see
ing he was dead, leit the body where it tell,
and, takingta wagon at the house, drove to
Porcher's Stationl on the Northeastern Rsi!
road, for the purpose of taking the train to
the city and, delivering themselves up to the
prpper authorltiee. In the meantime the
body was found by some colored people, who
speedily spread the news abroad. The color?
ed people were highly excited, and a large 11
crowd armed with guns, knives, poles, &c, | i
started In pursuit of the prisoners. The lat?
ter were found at the station, and were im?
mediately taken into custody by the mob
The more infuriated presented their guns
and knives, and wanted to klil the two
prisoners outright, but fortunately others
who were more moderate In their
views succeeded fa restraining the mob. 1
Surrounded by the crowd, the two white men E
were then taken from the depot towards the 1
scene of tbe accident Their captors pressed i
upon them on every side, and, while passing
through a field, Brown wa.? struck and knock- j
ed senseless by a blow upon the back of the e
htiad. The crowd carried the men before the t
father of the deceased Grant, and they here t
stated how the killing had been the result of
accident. The father heard their statement, f
and must haye been; persuaded it was an acel- i
'dent, as for the time he was judge and jury, i
and any extreme sentence from him would, i
doubtlessly, have been executed by the inluri- i
ated crowd. Yesterday morning the prisoners
were conveyed by their captors to the depot,
and brought under guard, to Charleston, as
first stated. I (
An Inquest will probably be held over the | (
body of Grant, and the prisoners are held to
await the result of the Investigation.* j ?

Been a more delighted audience than that
which emerged last Dight from our bright little
